Orient Star M34 Avant-garde F8 Skeleton New Models
Orient Star has released two new M34 Avant-garde F8 Skeleton models from the Contemporary Collection M34 combining sophistication and high performance: the two new models are available in regular black model and a limited-edition gold-coloured model of 300 pieces.
The refined models combine bold designs with an advanced automatic movement with silicon escape wheel. The black model is characterised by a solid metallic feel while the gold-coloured model exudes luxury.
The M34 is named after the Perseus constellation known for its meteor showers and offers one of Orient Star’s most diverse line-ups.
The regular model combines a black plated case highlighting its solid metallic feel with a metal bracelet that is also black plated. The uniformity of the case and metal bracelet, combined with the precision-moulded openwork dial with complex dual-layered structure further highlights the cutting-edge feel of the popular all-black model.
Also released is a limited-edition model of 300 pieces based on the theme of desert luxury. Evoking a rich urban lifestyle surrounded by sparkling golden sand, the model’s unique openwork dial, hexagonal screws, case and crown are all coloured gold to add a feeling of warmth, creating a completely different impression from the regular model.
The khaki-coloured nylon with a yellow-coloured leather lining is coordinated to match the case, harmoniously tying together the overall design.
The M34 Avant-garde F8 Skeleton models with contrasting designs are both powered by the automatic calibre F8F64 with a silicon escape wheel.
The calibre F8F64 is adorned with Geneva stripes on the surface and has a partially hollowed-out base plate revealing a blue silicon escape wheel near the small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock. The silicon escape wheel is created using cutting-edge high precision manufacturing technology which has been registered for Japanese and international patents.
In addition, the caliber F8F64 offers a power reserve of 60 hours and a high accuracy of +15 seconds to -5 seconds per day, practical performance.
